Service Unit Minutes from 1.12.10

Attendance: 8 leaders & adultsNext Meeting: Feb. 2.* COOKIES: Cookie Chair = Helena at helenasic@... She is having trouble securing a "drop off site" for cookies this year and would appreciate any suggestions. If we can not get one, we will need to do a "trailer drop." A truck comes to a specified parking lot and the town has ONE hour to have each Troop pull up, off-load their own cookies, have them checked and then drive off. It would require that ALL troops send a representative during this small window of time (the delivery company picks the time not us)* Council Updates: by Nancy Pollock = npollock@...* Council Monthly newsletter sign-up: Go to GSEM Web site.
